New YORK, Aug. {. -Charles Reich,
an animal dealer in this city, recently
bought in London three children stolen
from a tribe of hairy savages near the
Zambigi river, South Africa, two males
and one female, but the female died be-
fore starting for this country. Their
heads are about as well formed and devel-
oped as a 2 year old chIld's. The fore
head is straight, the eyes brown, large
and bright, the nose fat like an African
and the mouth much like a C~himpanzee's.
The body is well formed, with a paunch
like the banana fed children of southern
countries The hands and feet are human
in shape, but the toes arc longer than a
childs and more movable. The back
and limbs are covered with long red hair
of a sparse growth, but the front of the
body, which is of a tan color, is entirely
hairless. They have no sign of a tail,
are extremely affectionate, and took
quickly to Mrs. Sparrow, the colored nurse
who tends them. An effort will be made
to teach them to talk.

dren as well MS their parents, so that in
some tenement households it is not Il II
common for an agent TO collect the pre-
MUM on the life of a baby and that of a
grandmother at the same time. But the
amount of the premium is not the same.
The limit of age in the table before me is
20 years. In the case of a person of 40
years the five cent payment only secures
n tritle-GO cents. For a weekly payment
of % cents, however, a person of 40 yeara
is allowed $500, and for 80 cents per week
he or she secures 5000. At so years the
payment is $500 for 25 cents per week and
$500 for 50 cents. At 60 years it is $12O
for % cents and $240 for 90 cents, and at
20 years it is $50 for the smaller and $13O
Cor the larger sum.
In the case of the old folks as well as
the children, the object generally is to Sc
cure enough money at death to pay the
funeral expenses. This is not speculation,
like the graveyard insurance that has
flOurished in many places. 1t is merely
prudential provision for the day when the
undertaken will surely call. If anything
remains over when heis paid, so much the
better; it is SURF to be needed. Pruden-
tial insurance is in many respects n very
good thing. The objections to it are
chiefly sentimental, and mere sentiment is
always more likely to hinder han help in
the struggle Of life. Our German friends
seem to have less Of it than most others,
which partly accounts for their greater
readiness to insure life rs well rs their

DENVER, Aug. 3O.-The Republicans
Santa Fe special says: Two years ago
Albert A. Mead came from Iowa and To-
Gated mines at Good Hope, near Tres
piedras, n. NJ. A short time after the
location of the claims Mead, in company
with Fred and Harvey Mead, kinsmen
from Aledo, Ills, and Frank Reidel and
e. Smith, of Chicago, incorporated prop
erty under the laws of Illinois under the
name of the Las Luces Milling and Min
ing company. A mill was erected and
the mines worked until a few months ago,
when Albert Mead became dissatisfied,
claiming that the company was attempt
ing to swlndle him out of his share of the
property. He brought suit to regain
possession of the property and went to
Santa Fe to live.
On Wednesday Albert left Santa Fe
for the Meadville camp, for the purpose
of securing papers he Mad left in the
company's bunk house and which were
needed In his suit.
When Mead first made known his pres
ence, Fred and a Mr.. Hands had been to
Trespiedras and were then returning to
camp. When their team was within
about fifty yards of the company's cabin
Albert stepped out from behind the brush

Albert then called Hands and ordered him
to call Harvey Mead and Joe Downing
out of the cabin, saying that he desired
them to keep out Of the cabin until he,
Albert, could search for some papers and
money which he had concealed there.
About this time Harvey Mead and
Downing heard a commotion and both
came out of the cabin. As they appeared
Albert fired and Downing fell dead. A
second shot from his Winchester killed
Harvey Mead, and turning toward the
wagon Albert then opened fire on the
occupants therein, his third shot fatally
wounding Hands. By this time Fred
Mead had secured a six shooter which
Hands had and attempted to fire at Albert
A. Mead, but the weapon snapped and
| could not be discharged. Albert fred at
Fred five times in rapid succession and
while he was thus engaged Fred Mead was
running toward him. Finally the two
clinched and a struggle ensued for the
possession of the weapon OF death. At
last Fred Mead got the Winchester from
Albert and with it knocked him down and
shot him through the heart.
Hands died five hours later. Albert
A. Mead's body was buried face down.

The Cincinnati Editor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-John R.
Mclean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is
expected here again soon. He has left
Long Branch for the White mountains
with his wife, leaving their child with its
grandmother, Mrs, Mclean. A Long
Branch correspondent says: There have
been few persons here this summer who
have attracted more attention than the
Cincinnati editor, although he has tried
to remain in obscurity. He has made no
effort to rival anyone else in the quality of
the horse flesh he has driven, although he
has the means to do SO if he desired. He
has spent but little time out of his wife's
society, and when he was away from her
he was to be seen with his father-in law,
Gen. Beal. An intimate friend of the
editor told me to-day that Mr.. Mclean
now regards as folly the talk OF the posi-
bility of preventing the denomination and
reelection of President Cleveland.

WAsHINGToN. Aug. 30.-Gen. Terry tel
egraphed from Chicago to the war depart

Byrnes be instructed to move from the
reservation all intruders, as the civil and
military authorities of Colorado in their
excitement may forget that state rights
do not extend beyond the limit of a state,
and precipitate a general outbreak on the
Indian reservation by crossing the border.
Geographic instructions were sent this
afternoon by the president to Governor
Adams to confine the action of the civil
authorities strictly within the limits of the
state
Gen. Terry telegraphs from Chicago to
the adjutant general that he has received
a dispatch from Commander Randlett at
Fort Du Chesne, saying that Colorow and
his followers are now at the Ouray agency
and manifest a disposition to remain on
the reservation. The militia and cowboys
hold 100 horses and 1000 sheep and
goats belonging to !Colorow andsChipeta,
Ouray's widow. This stock was grazing
on land claimed by the Indians as belong.
ing to their reservation, and where they
have been permitted by their agent to live
for years. Colorado settlers have claimed
the locations there and have succeeded in
driving the Indians off. Colorow has not
in this trouble been on the warpath, and
has made his way to the reservation,
avoiding hostilities as far as possible.

70 Col Chapman, A. A. G., Denuer:-
Phil Foot has just come in. He left
Meeker at 1880 this morning and brings
no dispatches, as the courier left half an
hour ahead of him. A messenger from
Rangely reached Meeker just before Foot
left, who reports that the Indians were
moving east towards Rangely, where the
troops are entrenched. He thinks fight
ing has been renewed.
Maj, Leslie had a parley yesterday. The
Indians reported fifteen killed and six will
die in a little while. They said: Damn
cowboys fool Utes. Put on soldiers
clothes" They demanded the return of
their horses. Maj. Leslie stated that the
horses would be given up if Colorow and
the two indicted Indians were surren-
dered. This they positively rejected and
the pow WOW broke up.
A courier with dispatches comes on the
road with a change of horses. Foot came
through on the trail. The courier ought
to be in shortly. Foot says there were
about 100 Indians in the fight, but during
the night and the following morning they
received reinforcements and the country
was alive with them.

road company claims a strip 200 feet on
each side of the track and are fencing
this amount.
There are several fine farms between
here and town that the railroad runs
through, and if 2OO. feet is taken on each
side Of the track, it will take several acres
out Of their farms. This they cannot
afford, and they will try to make some
arrangement with the company by which
it will no: be fenced in.

not want to fight. Maj. Leslie, who fred
on the Indians in the border reservation.
took possession and run off thirty head of
Indian horses. The cowboys are break
ing these horses for their own use. The
Indians, when attacked, were on a peace
able hunting expedition and believed they
had a right to hunt on these lands. He
requests the war department to instruct
the commander at Fort DuChesDe to re-
cover the horses and other property and
return them to the reservation.
The Indian commissioner has instruct
ed Byrnes to remove from the reserva
ton all persons found theron contrary to
law; to restore to the Indians all property
abandoned by them, and that the military
would be ordered to co operate in enforc
ing these instructions.

WASHINGTON, Aug 30.-Although the
flow of trade dollars toward the treasury
of the United States has practically ceased
it is believed that there are still a great
many of these coins in the hands of the
people which will probably never be re-
deemed. Up to the present time there
have been about 1900, 900 trades ex-
changed for standard dollars. The sum
exceeds by only a few thousands the fig
ures which were estimated to represent
the number held in the country. The
date for tn. final redemption Of the coins
was fixed by congress, and the time can
not be extended except by congressional
action. This will, in all probability. not
be given, and holders Of the debascd coins
who fail to return them to the treasury
before next Saturday will have to sell
them for old silver. 1t is believed that
the greater number of those which will
not come in by next Saturday are held by
people who hoard their savings in old
stockings and other out Of the way places,
and that these people will not be heard
from because Of their ignorance of the
law No one can Judge with any Ger
tainty of the number so held, but good
guessers figure hat there will be several
hundred thousand unredeemed trades
after Sept, 3.
